Where do we look for ourselves? Where are we represented? The UAE is often subject to descriptors as ‘fast paced’ and ‘transient’, terms that indicate that lives lived here are elusive, not capturable. This event will explore the importance of archival self-representation, the objects we keep and why.
A workshop following archive and collections-focussed film screenings. Attendees signing up to stay for the workshop will be required to bring at least one item from their personal archive, it could be family photos, letters, diaries, heirlooms. The workshop will explore the importance of archival self-representation, the objects we keep and why.
This event is open to all (over age 16), and no prior knowledge about archival practice is required.
